Sweet Lorraine's to bring its mac and cheese to Midtown

Sweet Lorraine's Fabulous Mac n' Cheez, pictured at its Somerset Collection location, will open just off the campus of Wayne State University this summer.

One of chef Lorraine Platman’s popular comfort food dishes — macaroni and cheese — will be available in Midtown Detroit this summer.

Sweet Lorraine’s Fabulous Mac n’ Cheez will open its new location in the former Marwil Bookstore, on the southeast corner of Cass and Warren Avenue.

Platman and her co-founder and husband, Gary Sussman, said they are excited to be coming to the bustling Midtown area, which will be the location of their second street-front, dine-in restaurant. Their East Lansing location opens in July.

For 30 years, Platman’s recipes have been served at her Sweet Lorraine’s Cafȁ; & Bar restaurants in Southfield and Livonia. She is known for using natural and local ingredients while adding her twists on classic dishes.
